Broadleaf Evergreens

Camelia japonica 'Marie Bracey'

Flowering shrubs are becoming more and more prominent in the Pacific Northwest landscapes. People are continuously looking for year-round color as well as the ease of lower maintenance of shrubs. Choose from a wide assortment of Hydrangeas, Pieris, and Camellia’s for your shade areas. For the sun areas in your yard choose from Chaenomeles, Potentilla, and Spirea. During spring and summer these shrubs will give you a wide range of flower color, leaf variegation as well as different foliage textures that are so much in demand lately.

Japanese Maples

Do you wish for something extremely colorful, eye catching and unusual for a focal point in your landscape? Then consider a Japanese Maple!

These deciduous
shrubs and small trees are native to Japan and Korea and are very
ornamental plants with slow growth. They are the most delicate and airy
looking of the maple family and offer year-round interest. The new
growth in the spring will have glowing red, pink , yellow and bight
green leaves, usually turning to a soft green in the summer. Their fall
colors can astound you with a color spectrum of yellow to red to orange.
The slender bare branches will show off its interesting and intricate
branch patterns for added winter enjoyment.

The grafted cultivars are generally smaller and slower in growth. Very effective as small lawn tree, in large patio planters, in entryways and in rock gardens. Ideal for Japanese gardens and around pools and stream beds in water gardens. Invaluable in tubs and as bonsai specimens.

Ornamental Grasses

Pennisetum a 'Hameln'

Grasses are becoming an important addition to any landscape. The wide range of attractive colors and textures makes these plants very useful in rock gardens and around pools, ponds or stream beds. The graceful appearance and beautiful coloring makes them also an outstanding choice in container gardening. Selections range from the dwarf clump forming varieties, such as the Ophiopogon japonicus (Mondo Grass) or Carex morrowii 'Variegata' (Japanese Sedge Grass) to the much taller growing varieties, such as the Phormiums as well as the gracefully arching Miscanthus sinensis 'Zebrina' (Zebra Grass) and Cortaderia selloana (Pampas Grass.)

Perennials

Perennials have always been a large part of gardening due to the fact that they will come back, regrow, spread and flower year after year. Some perennials are herbaceous, which means that the foliage dies but the plants will regrow from their rootstock the following year. There are also evergreen perennials that keep their foliage throughout the winter. Most of the perennials only bloom 6 - 8 weeks. The art of planting a successful perennial garden is to plan different varieties with successive blooming periods so that you can enjoy year-round color. It is always such a treat to see them come back and bloom again year after year!

Geranium 'Johnson's Blue'

Aquilegia - Columbine

Indoor Foliage Plants

Especially nice and plentiful is our selection of Calatheas. These interesting plants are native to tropical South America and Africa and are close relatives of the Marantaceae family (Prayer plants). Calatheas are mainly grown for their beautiful colored foliage in various shades of green, silver, white, red and pink. The Calatheas are an excellent plant for medium to low light conditions and require a minimum of care.
